comment |
For many, many years, Charles Addams drew single-panel cartoons for The New Yorker. While these were stand-alone – and, typically, rather macabre – gag-a-week jokes, there were a few recurring characters: namely, a creepy family of loners who were dark opposites of the idealized American family.The first members of the family depicted were the mother, the butler, and the "Thing", making their debut in this 1938 cartoon◊. They were joined in subsequent cartoons by a father, a son, a daughter, a hinted-at-but-never-shown baby, a grandmother, and a recurring bald man whose relationship with the family was ambiguous, but became known as an uncle. These characters proved to be so popular that a 1960s TV sitcom was based off of them, and their popularity only grew from there.If this family seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to Ray Bradbury's eldritch Elliotts, that's not an accident. Eight years after Addams introduced his chararacters, the Elliotts debuted in a short story called "Homecoming", first published in Mademoiselle with an illustration by Addams. The two men even talked about getting together for a full-length collaboration, but it sadly never came about. (You can read about the Elliotts, and see Addams' original illustration, in Bradbury's 2001 anthology From the Dust Returned.)Note: this page is for the New Yorker cartoons with the recurring family characters, not the TV show, the movies, or any of the other adaptations and their tropes. In these cartoons, the characters didn't even have names; they were just called "the Addams family" because Charles Addams had created them. For a general overview of all other works based off the cartoons, see here. |

Big, Screwed-Up Family: Played with. On the one hand, they're often shown having fun together and being content... on the other hand, they do have friction at times, it's not uncommon for the kids to make attempts on each other's life, and their encounters with the outside world often seem to end with unpleasant fates for the outsiders... |

Ambiguously Human: The whole family, considering how much inedible materials they're shown to enjoy eating, but especially the Thing, who is a crouching figure that peers out at the family from different hiding places in the house. Also, they will sometimes appear alongside big groups of other people, presumably extended family, whose anatomy is often inhumanly bizarre. |

Obliviously Evil: Possibly the uncle. Compare him and the son: While the son always has a cruel sneer on his face when wreaking havoc, the uncle always looks genuinely happy and excited. It's possible he has no idea that others don't enjoy what he does to them. This is supported by him enjoying a movie scene that everyone else finds heartbreaking. |

comment |
Badass Family: With parents who siege against Christmas carolers, kids who lay booby traps, and an uncle who regularly uses poison on himself? You'd better believe it. |

Unholy Matrimony |
| | The Addams Family (Comic Strip) / int_5abc8612 |
comment |
Unholy Matrimony: The parents are a sort of borderline example; they are very creepy and eccentric, but calling them overtly "evil" might not be entirely fair. They also may not even be married. |

comment |
Collector of the Strange: The son collects danger signs◊, the father assembles torture racks with the kids◊, the mother asks the neighbors for cyanide◊, and they have bats◊ and lizards◊ for pets. The uncle has a collection of stuffed animal heads and poisons.◊ This◊ cartoon of them at a thrift shop, checking out the various weird items, showcases it perfectly. |

comment |
No Name Given: None of the family members have names; they were only given names for the TV series, though the names came from Charles Addams himself when the show's producers asked what they were (except for Pugsley, for whom Addams tried to suggest "Pubert" but the producers found this too vulgar for television). Interestingly, extended relatives of the family avert this and are referenced by name, such as Uncle Eimar and Uncle Cosimo. |

Comically Missing the Point: One cartoon has the father reading A Christmas Carol to the children, and describing "good old Scrooge, bless his heart" threatening to fire Bob Cratchit. |

Canon Immigrant: Cousin Itt was a character created for the TV show. Anticipating the series' debut, Charles Addams drew this cartoon◊ with a hairy creature that heavily resembled Cousin Itt answering the phone and saying "This is It speaking." "It" only appeared in one cartoon proper, but went on to appear alongside the family in cover art. |
